Chapter 101 Don’t be afraid!
Li Shen attacked his relatives on purpose.
He knew that when he wanted to kill Xiao Yan, the emperor would definitely use these people to threaten him.
Before that, it would be better for him to eliminate any weaknesses himself.
He has no soft spots, but the emperor and his men do.
The situation was once again in his hands.
Once again, he has the final say.
When Li Shen was feeling proud, Xiao Yan and the emperor had already sent people to secretly climb up the stairs from the back of the tower.
Li Shen's manpower was not as many as theirs, so he secretly eliminated the assassins left under the tower with a quiet move, so Li Shen on the tower might not be able to notice it in time.
"If you want to get Meng Mingshu back, exchange her for Xiao Yan."
Li Shen's face was full of smiles: "Your Majesty, life for life is fair."
"If you lose Meng Mingshu, Your Majesty will lose both your grandson and your son. But if you sacrifice your son, Your Majesty can at least gain a grandson."
Li Shen's nonsense was so unbearable that even the emperor, who was about to die, could not tolerate it.
What’s more, the empress dowager has been acting tyrannically over the years.
The Queen Mother was worried that Xiao Yan was really going to die, so she spoke first:
"impossible!"
"She may not be carrying a prince, and even if she is, he may not be born safely!"
The Empress Dowager is the emperor's only biological mother. In addition, the Empress Dowager is not a person who is content with her lot. Over the years, she has her own power and trained assassins.
"Get started!"
With just a glance from the Queen Mother, the loyal servants beside her aimed their bows and arrows directly at Meng Mingshu.
"You guys are reluctant to take action against this evil, so I will do it myself!"
This assassin is extremely fast.
It all happened too fast and too suddenly.
The Queen Mother was still speaking one moment, and the next moment her men suddenly took action.
It almost happens in an instant.
It was so fast that no one could react.
Seeing the Queen Mother's men aiming arrows at Meng Mingshu, Xiao Yan's heart almost stopped and his eyes were bloodshot:
"stop!"
At this moment, the Queen Mother actually wants to get rid of Meng Mingshu! !?
A look of surprise also flashed in Li Shen's eyes on the high tower. He wanted to grab Meng Mingshu and dodge quickly.
But surprisingly, the arrow did not hit Meng Mingshu.
Instead, it fell on his right hand that was holding Meng Mingshu.
Li Shen widened his eyes.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the Queen Mother's assassins' target was him!
He was cheated!
He just wanted to take Meng Mingshu with him to hide, but he didn't realize that the other party was coming for him from the beginning!
He miscalculated!
The situation reversed instantly.
Li Shen was shot in the right arm and subconsciously let go, causing Meng Mingshu to fall off the tower.
Li Shen and others on the high tower were also faced with an overwhelming rain of arrows.
Watching Meng Mingshu falling from a high place, Xiao Yan didn't care about anything else.
He ran over with all his might.
Finally, Meng Mingshu was caught at the last moment.
Just a little bit!
Meng Mingshu almost fell to the ground!
fortunately……
After catching Meng Mingshu, Xiao Yan also fell down.
"Yan'er!"
The emperor exclaimed.
Xiao Yan used himself as a human shield for Meng Mingshu.
The man caught it, but his son fell down.
The Queen Mother also exclaimed: "Yan'er!"
All this made the emperor dizzy and almost fell down.
But the emperor knew better than anyone that the more times like this, the more he couldn't fall.
"Capture the traitor."
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
————
"Go!"
Li Shen took Zhao Zhiyuan downstairs, but at this critical moment, Zhao Zhiyuan fell.
"Prince, hurry up!"
The assassins urged.
"Prince, don't abandon me."
Zhao Zhiyuan choked and begged.
Li Shen looked at the fallen Zhao Zhiyuan, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
If Zhao Zhiyuan is ignored, she will definitely die here.
But if he took care of her, he might not have a chance to escape.
"Prince!"
Zhao Zhiyuan begged.
Li Shen couldn't bear it. He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and finally turned around and quickly picked up Zhao Zhiyuan.
There was a flash of surprise in Zhao Zhiyuan's eyes.
Even if she asked Li Shen for help, she thought that Li Shen would definitely abandon her.
Because if it were her, she would never care about Li Shen at such a life-and-death moment.
No one's life is more important than her own.
But Li Shen... he actually chose her? !
Isn't he the most ruthless person? He even disregards his parents...
…
Just this delay made their situation even more dangerous.
Finally, Li Shen and others were blocked.
There is no way to escape now, and what awaits them is a dead end.
"Prince, are we...are we going to die?"
Zhao Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with tears. She curled up in Li Shen's arms, trembling with fear.
It was also at this time that Zhao Zhiyuan realized that she was so afraid of death.
Perhaps she shouldn't have fallen in love with Xiao Yan in the first place, and shouldn't have provoked him.
She regretted it!
"Don't be afraid."
At this time, Li Shen calmed down instead.
He touched Zhao Zhiyuan's face with his big hands, wiped away her tears, and said in a rare gentle voice:
"Ayuan, I've implicated you and our child."
Zhao Zhiyuan was stunned. She had never seen Li Shen like this before.
Those dark eyes contained too many complicated emotions, including nostalgia and reluctance.
For some reason, Zhao Zhiyuan's tears flowed even more violently.
She shook her head subconsciously.
No.
If she had not been unable to endure the temporary humiliation and had insisted on torturing Meng Mingshu and her daughter, she would not have been discovered by Xiao Yan and the others.
It will not let all of Li Shen’s plans come to nothing.
She is too stupid.
As for children, they had no children at all.
But Zhao Zhiyuan opened his lips but couldn't speak.
Li Shen touched her hair with his big hand and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, I won't let you and the child die."
"Take my share with you from now on and live well."
Zhao Zhiyuan felt uneasy. She subconsciously held Li Shen's hand and cried:
"Li...Li Shen, what do you want to do?"
The throne originally belonged to their branch, and the real imperial seal was also in his hands.
The reason why Li Shen has so many subordinates is because of the secret guards left by his ancestors.
Those who stayed behind trained and cultivated new death squads.
Li Shen originally thought, and he had also made instructions in advance, that if he failed, those death warriors would stop at nothing to kill Xiao Yan.
But now, Li Shen wants to let it go.
When death was imminent, he realized that what he wanted to save most was the lives of Zhao Zhiyuan and the child.
